Nucleotide sequence of the Salmonella typhimurium mutB gene, the homolog of Escherichia coli mutY.

ABSTRACT: The mutB gene of Salmonella typhimurium is involved in a methylation-independent repair pathway specific for A/G or A/C mismatches and is the homolog of the Escherichia coli mutY gene. The mutB gene of S. typhimurium was cloned and sequenced. The isolated mutB clone reduced the mutation rate of the mutB mutant to wild-type levels and also restored A/G mismatch-specific nicking activity, which is defective in mutB extracts. The amino acid sequence encoded by the mutB gene is 91% homologous to that encoded by the E. coli mutY gene.

Regulation of the Salmonella typhimurium aroF gene in Escherichia coli.

Project description:The Salmonella typhimurium aroF gene, encoding the tyrosine-sensitive 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase, was localized to a chromosomal PstI fragment by Southern blotting with an Escherichia coli aroF probe. This fragment was cloned by screening a plasmid library for complementation of an E. coli aroF mutant. The nucleotide sequence of S. typhimurium aroF was determined and compared with its E. coli homolog. The nucleotide sequences are 85.1% identical, and the corresponding amino acid sequences are 96.1% identical. The E. coli genes encoding the three DAHP synthase isoenzymes are evolutionarily more distant from one another than are the homologous aroF genes of E. coli and S. typhimurium. The S. typhimurium aroF regulatory region contains three imperfect palindromes, two upstream of the promoter and one overlapping the promoter, that are nearly identical to operators aroFo1, aroFo2, and TyrR box 1 of E. coli. The aroFo1 and aroFo2 sequences of the two organisms are each separated by three turns of the DNA helix with no sequence similarity. The 5' ends of the aroF transcripts for both organisms contain untranslated regions with potential stem-loop structures. Translational fusions of the aroF regulatory regions to lacZ were constructed and then introduced in single copy into the E. coli chromosome. beta-Galactosidase assays for tyrR-mediated regulation of aroF-lacZ expression revealed that the E. coli TyrR repressor apparently recognizes the operators of both organisms with about equal efficiency.

Nucleotide sequence of the Escherichia coli micA gene required for A/G-specific mismatch repair: identity of micA and mutY.

Project description:The Escherichia coli methylation-independent repair pathway specific for A/G mismatches has been shown to require the gene product of micA. Extracts prepared from micA mutants do not form an A/G mismatch-specific DNA-protein complex and do not contain an A/G mismatch-specific nicking activity. Moreover, a partially purified protein fraction containing both A/G mismatch-specific nicking and binding activities restores repair activity in micA mutant extracts. The DNA sequence of a 2.3-kb fragment containing the micA gene has been determined. There are two open reading frames (ORF) in this DNA fragment: one ORF encodes a 25.7-kDa protein whose function is still unknown, the other ORF codes for a protein with an Mr of 39,147, but this ORF can be transcribed and the mRNA can be translated to yield a protein with an apparent Mr of 36 kDa on a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel. Deletion analysis showed that this 39.1-kDa ORF is the micA gene as judged by the capacity of the encoded protein to restore the A/G mismatch-specific nicking activity of micA mutant extracts. Furthermore, our results suggest that micA is the same gene as the closely mapped mutY, which encodes the A/G mismatch-specific glycosylase.

Salmonella typhimurium intercepts Escherichia coli signaling to enhance antibiotic tolerance.

Project description:Bacterial communication plays an important role in many population-based phenotypes and interspecies interactions, including those in host environments. These interspecies interactions may prove critical to some infectious diseases, and it follows that communication between pathogenic bacteria and commensal bacteria is a subject of growing interest. Recent studies have shown that Escherichia coli uses the signaling molecule indole to increase antibiotic tolerance throughout its population. Here, we show that the intestinal pathogen Salmonella typhimurium increases its antibiotic tolerance in response to indole, even though S. typhimurium does not natively produce indole. Increased antibiotic tolerance can be induced in S. typhimurium by both exogenous indole added to clonal S. typhimurium populations and indole produced by E. coli in mixed-microbial communities. Our data show that indole-induced tolerance in S. typhimurium is mediated primarily by the oxidative stress response and, to a lesser extent, by the phage shock response, which were previously shown to mediate indole-induced tolerance in E. coli. Further, we find that indole signaling by E. coli induces S. typhimurium antibiotic tolerance in a Caenorhabditis elegans model for gastrointestinal infection. These results suggest that the intestinal pathogen S. typhimurium can intercept indole signaling from the commensal bacterium E. coli to enhance its antibiotic tolerance in the host intestine.

Cloning and nucleotide sequence of the anaerobically regulated pepT gene of Salmonella typhimurium.

Project description:The anaerobically regulated pepT gene of Salmonella typhimurium has been cloned in pBR328. Strains carrying the pepT plasmid, pJG17, overproduce peptidase T by approximately 70-fold. The nucleotide sequence of a 2.5-kb region including pepT has been determined. The sequence codes for a protein of 44,855 Da, consistent with a molecular weight of approximately 46,000 for peptidase T (as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration). The N-terminal amino acid sequence of peptidase T purified from a pJG17-containing strain matches that predicted by the nucleotide sequence. A plasmid carrying an anaerobically regulated pepT::lacZ transcriptional fusion contains only 165 bp 5' to the start of translation. This region contains a sequence highly homologous to that identified in Escherichia coli as the site of action of the FNR protein, a positive regulator of anaerobic gene expression. A region of the deduced amino acid sequence of peptidase T is similar to segments of Pseudomonas carboxypeptidase G2, the E. coli peptidase encoded by the iap gene, and E. coli peptidase D.

Cloning and nucleotide sequence of the Salmonella typhimurium dcp gene encoding dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase.

Project description:Plasmids carrying the Salmonella typhimurium dcp gene were isolated from a pBR328 library of Salmonella chromosomal DNA by screening for complementation of a peptide utilization defect conferred by a dcp mutation. Strains carrying these plasmids overproduced dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase approximately 50-fold. The nucleotide sequence of a 2.8-kb region of one of these plasmids contained an open reading frame coding for a protein of 77,269 Da, in agreement with the 80-kDa size for dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase (determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration). The N-terminal amino acid sequence of dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase purified from an overproducer strain agreed with that predicted by the nucleotide sequence. Northern (RNA) blot data indicated that dcp is not cotranscribed with other genes, and primer extension analysis showed the start of transcription to be 22 bases upstream of the translational start. The amino acid sequence of dcp was not similar to that of a mammalian dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase, angiotensin I-converting enzyme, but showed striking similarities to the amino acid sequence of another S. typhimurium peptidase encoded by the opdA (formerly optA) gene.

Purification and characterization of a mammalian homolog of Escherichia coli MutY mismatch repair protein from calf liver mitochondria.

Project description:A protein homologous to the Escherichia coli MutY glycosylase, referred to as mtMYH, has been purified from calf liver mitochondria. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, western blot analysis as well as gel filtration chromatography predicted the molecular mass of the purified calf mtMYH to be 35-40 kDa. Gel mobility shift analysis showed that the purified mtMYH formed specific binding complexes with A/8-oxoG, G/8-oxoG and T/8-oxoG, weakly with C/8-oxoG, but not with A/G and A/C mismatches. The purified mtMYH exhibited DNA glycosylase activity removing adenine mispaired with G, C or 8-oxoG and weakly removing guanine mispaired with 8-oxoG. The mtMYH glycosylase activity was insensitive to high concentrations of NaCl and EDTA. The purified mtMYH cross-reacted with antibodies against both intact MutY and a peptide of human MutY homolog (hMYH). DNA glycosylase activity of mtMYH was inhibited by anti-MutY antibodies but not by anti-hMYH peptide antibodies. Together with the previously described mitochondrial MutT homolog (MTH1) and 8-oxoG glycosylase (OGG1, a functional MutM homolog), mtMYH can protect mitochondrial DNA from the mutagenic effects of 8-oxoG.

The apeE gene of Salmonella typhimurium encodes an outer membrane esterase not present in Escherichia coli.

Project description:Salmonella typhimurium apeR mutations lead to overproduction of an outer membrane-associated N-acetyl phenylalanine beta-naphthyl ester-cleaving esterase that is encoded by the apeE gene (P. Collin-Osdoby and C. G. Miller, Mol. Gen. Genet. 243:674-680, 1994). This paper reports the cloning and nucleotide sequencing of the S. typhimurium apeE gene as well as some properties of the esterase that it encodes. The predicted product of apeE is a 69.9-kDa protein which is processed to a 67-kDa species by removal of a signal peptide. The predicted amino acid sequence of ApeE indicates that it is a member of the GDSL family of serine esterases/lipases. It is most similar to a lipase excreted by the entomopathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens. The Salmonella esterase catalyzes the hydrolysis of a variety of fatty acid naphthyl esters and of C6 to C16 fatty acid p-nitrophenyl esters but will not hydrolyze peptide bonds. A rapid diagnostic test reported to be useful in distinguishing Salmonella spp. from related organisms makes use of the ability of Salmonella to hydrolyze the chromogenic ester substrate methyl umbelliferyl caprylate. We report that the apeE gene product is the enzyme in Salmonella uniquely responsible for the hydrolysis of this substrate. Southern blot analysis indicates that Escherichia coli K-12 does not contain a close analog of apeE, and it appears that the apeE gene is contained in a region of DNA present in Salmonella but not in E. coli.

Herbicide ingredients change Salmonella enterica sv. Typhimurium and Escherichia coli antibiotic responses.

Project description:Herbicides are frequently released into both rural and urban environments. Commercial herbicide formulations induce adaptive changes in the way bacteria respond to antibiotics. Salmonella enterica sv. Typhimurium and Escherichia coli were exposed to common co-formulants of formulations, and S. enterica sv. Typhimurium was exposed to active ingredients dicamba, 2,4-D and glyphosate to determine what ingredients of the commercial formulations caused this effect. Co-formulants Tween80 and carboxymethyl cellulose induced changes in response, but the pattern of the responses differed from the active ingredients, and effect sizes were smaller. A commercial wetting agent did not affect antibiotic responses. Active ingredients induced changes in antibiotic responses similar to those caused by complete formulations. This occurred at or below recommended application concentrations. Targeted deletion of efflux pump genes largely neutralized the adaptive response in the cases of increased survival in antibiotics, indicating that the biochemistry of induced resistance was the same for formulations and specific ingredients. We found that glyphosate, dicamba, and 2,4-D, as well as co-formulants in commercial herbicides, induced a change in susceptibility of the potentially pathogenic bacteria E. coli and S. enterica to multiple antibiotics. This was measured using the efficiency of plating (EOP), the relative survival of the bacteria when exposed to herbicide and antibiotic, or just antibiotic, compared to survival on permissive media. This work will help to inform the use of non-medicinal chemical agents that induce changes in antibiotic responses.

Cloning and nucleotide sequence of opdA, the gene encoding oligopeptidase A in Salmonella typhimurium.

Project description:The opdA gene (formerly called optA) of Salmonella typhimurium encodes a metallopeptidase, oligopeptidase A (OpdA), first recognized by its ability to cleave and allow utilization of N-acetyl-L-Ala4 (E. R. Vimr, L. Green, and C. G. Miller, J. Bacteriol. 153:1259-1265, 1983). Derivatives of pBR328 carrying the opdA gene were isolated and shown to express oligopeptidase activity at levels approximately 100-fold higher than that of the wild type. These plasmids complemented all of the phenotypes associated with opdA mutations (failure to use N-acetyl-L-Ala4, defective phage P22 development, and diminished endopeptidase activity). The opdA region of one of these plasmids (pCM127) was defined by insertions of Tn1000 (gamma delta), and these insertions were used as priming sites to determine the nucleotide sequence of a 2,843-bp segment of the insert DNA. This region contained an open reading frame coding for a 680-amino-acid protein, the N terminus of which agreed with that determined for purified OpdA. This open reading frame contained both a sequence motif typical of Zn2+ metalloproteases and a putative sigma 32 promoter. However, no induction was detected upon temperature shift by using a beta-galactosidase operon fusion. The predicted OpdA sequence showed similarity to dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase, the product of the S. typhimurium gene dcp, and to rat metallopeptidase EC 3.4.24.15., which is involved in peptide hormone processing.
